Sole Defined
We are a percussive dance company, using Tap Dance & Body Percussion to entertain, education and enhance lives. Check out our tour & Arts Education Programing. We are committed to creating high quality immersive performances, art integrated curriculum and policies that advance the visibility of percussive dance. SOLE Defined's mission is to be the institutional hub for African Diasporic Percussive Dance methodologies, providing full-time employment with health and retirement benefits to BIPOC artists, creatives, administrators, and crew. The company reconceptualizes the traditional archive by translating Black American history into evening-length sensory-driven immersive performative archives synthesizing Tap Dance, Body Percussion, and Sand Dance infused with live music and audience participation. Additionally, SD curates art-integrated programming for students K-12, connecting Tap Dance with literacy and Body Percussion with Mathematics, and provides professional development services to teaching artists supporting 21st-century teaching practices rooted in cultural competency.

What I appreciate most about Eduo is its neutrality and inclusivity. It doesn't push any agenda — just provides tools for people to explore and support what matters to them.
